The world is quick to tell us

The media compels us

For me to have and you to not

Is the difference in our lot

If you must compound your joy

Then you must acquire this toy

Just remember this - a kiss is just a kiss

A smile is just a smile

The things you own will not atone

Or spare you from the life you've sown



Where moth and rust destroy

A land of tears and sadness

When those who put their faith in things

Find out it's only madness



Enjoy all that He gives you

But make sure you can see through

The haze that blocks the clarity

Of seeing the eternity

Of things that last and things that don't

Of choices we should make, but won't

If you will just incline your ear

There is something you must hear

Heed his words and you'll be free

From loving more than Me



Where moth and rust destroy

A land of tears and sadness

When those who put their faith in things

Find out it's only madness



Choose - you must choose

You must choose

Who you serve



Just waiting in the darkened wings

The voice that says to trust in things

Aspire to acquire - aspire to acquire

Light the sacrificial fire

Death to things
